Answer key · Set B
Bags of Rice and Bowls of Soup
12 Look at the stack over the number 5 and count its dots: 2.
25 Count every dot, including both in the stack: 5 bags.
3Plot 3 Plot 3 has two dots at 2 and one dot at 4.
42 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 5 = 16 eighths. 8 eighths make 1 pound, so 16 eighths make 2 pounds.
5True 2 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 13 eighths. That is more than 8 eighths, which is 1 pound.
65/8 2 + 3 + 7 + 8 = 20 eighths. 20 eighths shared by 4 bags is 5 eighths each.
75/8 The fullest bowl holds 6/8 and the emptiest 1/8. 6/8 − 1/8 = 5/8.
81 and 2/8 cups 1/8 + 3/8 + 6/8 = 10/8, which is 1 whole and 2/8 more.
91-A, 2-B, 3-C, 4-D 2 eighths make a quarter, so 4 eighths make a half, 6 eighths make three quarters and 8 eighths make a whole.
101/2 2 + 4 + 6 = 12 eighths. 12 eighths shared by 3 bowls is 4 eighths each, which is 1/2.
111/4 The fullest bowl had 6/8 and now has 4/8. 6/8 − 4/8 = 2/8, which is 1/4.
12True 4 × 3 = 12 eighths. 8 eighths make 1 pound and 4 eighths are left: 1 and 4/8.
